To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I dont appear in the least unusual. To those in the quiet Oregon community where we live, we are viewed just as we are -- a happy couple deeply in love. Our desire to work hard, buy our first home, and start a family was nothing out of the ordinary. That is, until we decided that I would carry our child.

I am transgender, legally male, and legally married to Nancy. Unlike those in same-sex marriages, domestic partnerships, or civil unions, Nancy and I are afforded the more than 1,100 federal rights of marriage. Sterilization is not a requirement for sex reassignment, so I decided to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy but kept my reproductive rights. Wanting to have a biological child is neither a male nor female desire, but a human desire.

The Old Testament has a word for things like this. It’s a word we don’t like to use much anymore, because it’s not politically correct; it’s considered judgmental. But the word is handy when things like this happen. The word is “abomination.”

I have come to the conclusion that there is LITERALY no bounds as to what is an acceptable lifestyle for these people. Democrats applaud these freaks. Is there a point where they would say “no, thats wrong”? I don’t think there is.

Has there ever yet been a child born to a woman who has taken heavy doses of testosterone for years before the pregnancy??? What chance that child has of being hormonally normal, I cant imagine.

That was my first thought, too. Obviously the mother/father isn't concerned, which tells me this preganancy is more about her/him, and making some sort of political statement, than about the baby, who should be a product of love.

I agree it is worse than insanity. One cannot change ones sex just as one cannot change age or race - not even Michael Jackson. One can only become a mutilated person who may fool others as to his/her real sex.

This is a story from the Twilight Zone, an attack on logic and reality, of saying black is white and white is black.

The only species on the earth where the male gives birth are seahorses.
A man does not have the genetic makeup for holding a placenta, hip sizes and exit for baby.
IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AMONG HUMAN MALES.
How is this possible?
This has to be a joke.

Here's your answer in frightening detail. They had to shop around for a doc that would play ball:

In total, nine different doctors have been involved. This is why it took over one year to get access to a cryogenic sperm bank to purchase anonymous donor vials, and why Nancy and I eventually resorted to home insemination.

When I finally got pregnant for the first time, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy with triplets. It was a life-threatening event that required surgical intervention, resulting in the loss of all embryos and my right fallopian tube. When my brother found out about my loss, he said, Its a good thing that happened. Who knows what kind of monster it would have been.

On successfully getting pregnant a second time, we are proud to announce that this pregnancy is free of complications and our baby girl has a clean bill of health. We are happily awaiting her birth, with an estimated due date of July 3, 2008.

That is absolutely scary. So they used they ol' turkey baster method... at home?!

My head hurts. That poor child . . .

I think we have had a break down of communication. I posted to Callahan that I thought he had hit the nail on the head with his post #37. You posted to me something about ‘legally black’. I replied with a question mark because I couldn’t figure out what you meant from my comment to Callahan. Now this other post about fire trucks and Hitler. I think you meant your first communication for someone else, maybe?

Me too, I’m confused. First this HE, was a SHE,...why didn’t SHE THEN have a baby. Planned Parenthood WHERE are you. I don’t know I’ve every thought of abortion as an alternative, but this child will SUFFER....SOOOOOOOOO...
